Ascent Trip Report

I split this highpoint over two days, mostly because of when I arrived. I drove to the highest road in the Midwest at 7210'+ and was right next to Crooks Tower. This was maybe a ten foot hike onto the rock outcropping that is the tower. Then in barely any light I strolled down through the saddle in between Crooks and the northernmost of the three points. This point had good views as well as Crooks did. A rock pile is the highest point. Then I returned to my car for the night. In the morning I drove to the new road leaving west from what may still be Black Fox Camp Road at N 44.14262 W 103.92833 From here I made the mistake of going SW for a while into the woods before consulting my new compass to return to the car. I was very confused about where I was going due to the topo's incorrect road layout. I'd use the aerial image over the topo on this one. Then I decided to follow a deer and walk west on the new road I parked at. I worked my way WNW and eventually NW up onto a small ridge. This area has been somewhat logged and there is no heavy vegetation to get in the way for a hiker. I found the four foot stump, but there were no rocks on it. I found a flat rock and placed it on the top. Then I walked to the end of the ridge to make sure I found the right four foot stump. I had. It is reddish in color and is rotting away and only a ten minute walk from where I parked assuming you go the right direction. I have a photo of the stump for anyone who wants to know what they are looking for.
